*GreenHomeNYC Monthly Forum: Policy Action on Climate Change {Patty Noonan
Memorial Policy Forum}*

<https://greenhomenyc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/April-Event-Photo.jpg>



Many people now accept the concept of climate change as a reality and
recognize that it is being accelerated by man-made activities. With each
passing day, the time to make actionable change to reverse these trends is
running out. The Green New Deal, a major policy initiative championed by
Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is one example of a
bold new policy idea that has been introduced as a solution to climate
change

Come join us at GreenHomeNYC’s April forum to hear from change makers and
policy drivers who are bringing forth some of these much needed solutions
to Climate Change, and what you can possibly do to help their cause!
